Create Custom Views

System models tend to be large and complex. You can create a custom subset of components from architecture models by filtering model elements based on criteria such as stereotypes, properties, and requirement links in the Architecture Views Gallery. This custom subset is called an architecture view and is a simplified way of working with complex systems. You can use views to focus on certain parts of the architectural design and create operational, functional, or physical views for analysis.

Use architectural spotlight views to analyze component dependencies and hierarchy.

Use queries to define custom viewpoints on the architecture model. View filters rely on the constraints defined by queries. You can define queries programmatically. Group ports in component diagram views to simplify complex networks of ports and connections.

Define architecture views and hierarchical views. Hierarchical views show the same set of components in tree form.

Use the Interface Editor in the Architecture Views Gallery to manage interfaces, manage interface data dictionaries, assign interfaces to ports, and delete interfaces. These changes are mirrored in the parent architecture model.
